The love story of a prince and princess. ”

After a quiet moment, a girl with a flute laughed.

There was the first person to take the lead, and then the stage was full of gossip.

"I think it's the revenge of the queen of the night. ”

"Light is never a slave!"

"No matter how you look at it, it's like a counterattack trip of a dick silk bird catcher. ”

"Hahahaha————————"

"This is too awesome~"

The counterattack journey of the Dick Silk Bird Repair Bird is also a good answer.

Qin Jian nodded and smiled at everyone: "Everyone is right, in fact, from the level of the story, the magic flute is also talking about such a thing. ”

As Qin Jian spoke, the stage fell silent again.

"The young prince Tamino fell in love with the daughter of the Queen of the Night, Pamina, because of an accident, and thought that his crush had fallen into the clutches of the high priest Sarastro, so with the help of the magic flute, accompanied by the birdcatcher Papagino, came to the rescue. ”

Later, Tamino discovers that all this is a conspiracy of the Queen of the Night, that Sarastelo is a good sage, and that the Queen of Night is the source of evil. ”

In the end, after all the trials and tribulations, Tamino and Pamina were finally married, and the queen of the night finally received the punishment she deserved. ”

"Good triumphs over evil. ”

After a pause, Qin Jian looked at the boy who made a speech that caused everyone to laugh and said, "Of course, Papagino did counterattack, and after some experience, he married Papagina as his wife." ”

"Happy ending. ”

"That's what a story is. ”

"But. ”

Qin Jian's voice changed, and the baton in his hand clicked again: "What is the meaning behind such a magical story, this should be a question that everyone who wants to enter this opera should think about." ”

When the words fell, everyone thought about it, and they didn't seem to think about it deeply.

"Actually, I didn't think about it until I learned about an organization called Tongmasons. ”

"You may have heard this name more or less in the process of learning about this opera, the Tongmasons are a religious organization that emphasizes morality and charity, and firmly believes in the immortality of the soul. ”

"After Mozart joined the Freemasons, he wrote a large number of works, and the Magic Flute was the last opera he completed during this period. ”

"For more than 200 years, there have been many opinions about the relationship between the Freemasons and the Magic Flute. ”

This is another mystery that Mozart left behind for posterity. ”

"In this passage, I have tried to approach this opera from the course of Mozart's life history, and I have found that from this perspective, we can see the Magic Flute as a metaphorical story of character growth and mental exploration. ”

"Each character in the play is actually a symbol of complex personalities and multiple personalities, and their final harmonious coexistence marks the ultimate soundness and maturity of their personalities. ”

Here, the music greatly enriches this metaphorical nature of the story, and we can see that Mozart's score for the Magic Flute presents a large balance of the Baroque period of the eighteenth century. ”

"At the beginning of the story, Prince Tamino represents the side of good truth, Papageno represents the side of blind pursuit of materialism, Princess Pamina represents the side of freedom, the high priest represents the wisdom of the elders, and the Queen of Night represents the camp of evil. ”

After a series of events, at the end of the story, Prince Pamino's kindness rises to fortitude, the bird-catcher Papagino sees the wider world behind the material, the public cooks the price of freedom, and the high priest Sarastro touches the revenge from the Queen of the Night with his noble sentiments. ”

That's right, that's a constant theme that runs through Baroque music. ”

"Alignment, development, change. ”

...

...

"You wait. ”

"If you put it all together, the characteristics of Baroque music and the plot of the Magic Flute are really amazing, but isn't it too difficult to present the accompaniment of the orchestra?

"Our band is made up of a bunch of freshmen. ”

In the evening, in a small café outside the Mozart Memorial in Salzburg, young men and women sat face-to-face by the fire, and Qin Jian gained a lot from the four-hour tour of the memorial hall.

Duan Ran thought for a moment and continued to reply: "Actually, I don't think it's that difficult, just take the Tamino aria in the first act, it was conceived as part of the finale of the first act, Mozart's aria always begins after a definite end of the previous recitative, and the ending is also clearly and completely closed. ”

"You know better than I do the rhythm that prevailed in the Baroque period, it has no possibility of transitional transformations, and in a way it can hardly be used for the operation of dramatic goals. ”

"That's why I said it's too difficult. Qin Jian interjected.

Duan Ran shook his head, "Don't forget that the harmonic movement always relies on the descending mode, which enhances the heaviness of the music, but it can also be used as a favorable factor to deepen the stage of the final act. ”

After all, the solo part is a static part of the opera stage, and the singer can deepen the character by just a definite moment in the music, or even a sudden stop in an emotion. ”

"A gloomy minor key can create a sunny day after the rain, and a bright major key can also make people cry"

Qin Jian nodded thoughtfully, "Go on." ”

Duan Ran said: "As for the rest, I think it is how the conductor adjusts the harmonic ratio of the orchestra, and how the actors grasp the mood of the music." ”

"Uh, okay. Qin Jian nodded.

Duan Ran looked at Qin Jian's somewhat frustrated appearance and couldn't help but say, "I'm neither a conductor nor an actor, and the only help I can provide you with is a little suggestion."

Moment.

"It's a really, really great idea, and I think I know where to go next. Qin Jian's expression was extremely serious, "Thank you very much." ”

"Hmph, no sincerity~"

Just then, the messenger brought two cups of coffee.

A latte, an American.

"The coffee is good," Qin Jian said, "Speaking of Duan Ran, where did you get all this theoretical knowledge?"

Duan Ran looked at Qin Jianyang and smiled for a long time.

"Guess what. ”

...

...

"Mr. Rigel, if I give up the duet course, is there any other way for me to make up these six credits?"

On the morning of the next day, Duan Ran finished her morning exercise and went directly to Rigel's office, she thought about this question all night, the ensemble class was a major course, and she needed these six credits very much, which was related to the time of her graduation.

Looking at the stubborn girl in front of him, Riegel really didn't understand why the other party insisted on not participating in a simple ensemble lesson.

"Well, you can go to Michelle and she will give you some help. ”

Taking Riggle's reply, Duan Ran left here.

When she arrives at Michelle's office, she shows her intentions.

The kind Michelle nodded, then handed her a form, "Give it to me when you tick it." ”

Duan Ran looked at the table in his hand and calculated slightly in his heart.

A tick represents three credits.

Quickly drew the two hooks, and she left easily.

Michelle couldn't help but smile as she looked at the form that was back in her hand.

"Funny Chinese girl. ”

On the elective course schedule, there are two bright red ticks.

...

...

Not every music student is willing to give up an interesting major course in favor of two boring electives.

However, it is undeniable that opera, as a major category in the history of the development of classical music, naturally has its charm.

It's a course, a science.

With Qin Jian's words, everyone thought more and more deeply.

It's all too new for them.

Offstage.

Ning Qianxia listened carefully to every word on the stage, as if she suddenly grabbed something at a certain moment, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

It was something she had been ignoring for two months.

Looking at the back on the stage at this moment, although she didn't want that strong sense of surprise to appear in her heart again, there was no way.

The story seems to have just begun.

"Alright. ”

Qin Jian took off his coat, stood on the command platform, and picked up the baton.

"Now let's try again. ”
